@LindenmuthWendi Being misunderstood makes me nuts. I feel I'm a good communicator, but I have been blindsided a time or two and had to work better at it. People are usually more thin-skinned that I realize.

@AuthorGFAllen It's not so much a specific book as a genre. Mine is a cozy mystery. Not too deep, the killer gets caught, all is well with the world.

@ChristianWFreed You are doing exactly what works best for you. Don't pay attention to the speed writers. I can't figure that out and I don't try. You'll have a great, memorable book. Readers will breeze through their "books" and forget it the instant they put it down. If they finish it at all.

40k words into my new novel. That was fast. I realized I don't write fast like some of the people in the group I'm in. I can't write a book in a month. This one is planned for about 120k and I've done a 1/3 in 3 weeks. That's fast for me. And deliberate.

@stephenRB4 When I retired from my first career, I removed my timekeeper. Only self-inflicted deadlines now.

@brclothwrites When I'm feeling good, I feel like I'm 40 or 50. Those were good years for me. In charge, productive, healthy and limber. But I still want to call my mom, just to hear her voice or see her smile. Her absence reminds me how old I've become. However, life is good! Always!

Good morning! How old do you feel mentally? Is it close to your actual age? I feel like I’m 14. I’m nowhere close to that lol.

@lilith_haugen I wish that was true. With the world overflowing with books/authors, I am a drop in the ocean.

I prefer for my book(s) to organically find its readers. *which is my poetic way of saying I suck at marketing. #authorlife

@stephenRB4 Something happening to my kids/grandkids, sister, husband. I need everyone to be safe. That, and the country going down the toilet of fascism. Nothing much.

@SDDonovan Now, pick one WIP you have a sweet spot for. Go for it. No matter what anyone else says.

We get all these great ideas for books and start writing them and then the next thing you know you have 15 WIPS and never publish anything. 💀😅

@AuthorGFAllen There are many. Too many to pick one, but I will. To Kill a Mockingbird - not only because the writing and story are brilliant, but because it addressed a big problem in this country. Harper Lee's gentle story did that.

@ianamikagautam I've tried paying people to market my book. One provided a list of everything she would do and what I could expect. She had good reviews. My books are good, with excellent reviews, but needed to be seen. Her work (and I suspect she did nothing much) was a total washout.

Dear Authors, I’m creating a blog post on the topic “Should I Hire Someone to Market My Book?” If you could share your thoughts or answer this question here, I’d love to quote you and include your profile in the post.

@lhallwriter Rather different genre, but I've watched the Foyle's War series two times and I'm considering a third.

Can you name a tv show you've watched through several times? I'm watching Chernobyl for the 4th time 👍
